Diaphania hyalinata（鳞翅目：Crambidae），俗称“瓜虫蛾”，被认为是黄瓜的主要害虫，根据侵染强度，危害可达100%。在此，我们报告了七种社会黄蜂物种对 D. hyalinata 幼虫的捕食：Brachygastra lecheguana、Polybia dimidiata、Polybia ignobilis、Polybia liliacea、Protopolybia minutissima、Synoeca surinama 和 Synoeca virginea，以及 Polybia liliacea 对 D. hyalinata 蛹的捕食。我们建议，由于其捕获猎物指数高且觅食活动强烈，应将 Polybia liliacea 视为黄瓜的潜在生物防治剂。
Diaphania hyalinata (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), popularly known as “melonworm moth”, is considered a main pest of the cucumber, and depending on the intensity of infestation, the damage can reach 100%. Herein, we report the predation of D. hyalinata larvae by seven social wasp species: Brachygastra lecheguana , Polybia dimidiata , Polybia ignobilis , Polybia liliacea , Protopolybia minutissima , Synoeca surinama and Synoeca virginea , and predation of D. hyalinata pupae by Polybia liliacea . We suggest that Polybia liliacea , should be considered as a potential biological control for cucumbers, due to its high index of captured prey and intense foraging activity.
